POINTS:

• We have three enemies according to scripture: the world, the flesh, and the devil.

• The world tries to get you to focus on the external instead of dealing with your own heart.

• The flesh tries to get you to focus on your feelings; it wants what is contrary to the Spirit of God.

• The Devil and his demons are a super natural intelligence that leads other super natural intelligence’s.

• The Devil is the epitome of sin, a liar, a murderer.

• The strategy of our enemies is to destroy our witness, cause us to doubt God’s goodness, and to divide believers.

• Spiritual Warfare is the conflict that we are going through in the heavenly places that is affecting the physical places.

• In Christ we have everything we need for victory.

• The central organizing principle of the kingdom of the world is selfishness.
